Free snacks with the Bath Area Backpack Program!

The Bath Area Backpack Program will be posted outside of Brackett's Market from 3-6 pm teaching knife skills, handing out recipes, and, of course, passing out snacks!

Brackett's is located at 185 Front Street

The Bath Area Backpack Program mission is to generate funds to provide nutritious, easy to prepare food for food insecure children to insure that they have enough food during school-year weekends and vacations when they can’t depend on school free and reduced-price meals to avoid hunger.

The Merrymeeting Gleaners invite you to 'Glean with a Friend'

Thanks to the generosity of Six River Farm in Bowdoinham, current gleaners and their friends – and anyone who would like to meet new friends and do some gleaning! – will harvest as many vegetables as possible.

Gleaners harvest and collect surplus produce from farms and farmers’ markets for re-distribution. The Merrymeeting Gleaners distribute donated produce to soup kitchens, food pantries, Head Start and WIC programs, and low-income housing communities in nine communities from Richmond to Bath. This produce will provide meals for midcoast Maine’s hungry children, elders, and all in need.
